20 :tonguewink: The issue is that if people behaved responsibly there would be no need to regulation, but many dont, so regulations are tightened at the inconvenience of those who have always tried to do things properly. It shouldnt pass now as said. I put mine through and it gets recorded...

Upcoming draft version from May this year mate https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/mot-inspection-manual-for-class-3-4-5-and-7-vehicles

It must have been one of the drafts in the last round then, but there was definitely discussion of not passing cars with ABS removed where it was originally fitted, i.e. a clio cup is fine, but a 172 with ABS removed wouldnt be. As you say though, it's not in the current manual. Interestingly...

Old school fake burr walnut is nasty, but lots of the modern dark wook trim looks really nice. The stuff in my 3 series looks almost piano black until you actually look at it and then it has a straight grain in it. Looking good dave

NOt nowadays, if it was fitted from the factory it must be present and working correctly, unless its a competition car. Decats are total b****cks, people removed them because Max Power said it was worth 5bhp. The average OEM cat is not significantly restrictive at standard power. I refitted one...

It's simple really, you either maintain the complete manufacturers safety system, or you replace it in its entirety with a cage, buckets and harnesses compliant with the MSA rules.

There are two separate issues here. 1) does total wheel offset affect handling - this is the offset including spacers. Yes it does, go and have a read about scrub radius. That said, whilst it may not feel as nice, sometimes its still faster (balancing multiple compromises) 2) Are spacers...

Got to love scenesters spending out on banding and painting steels and then fitting budgets to them. New wheels are a definite improvement.

I have an old set of Dunlop gauges which I'd recommend if you can find some

We went for three days last year, by contrast I ignored most of the stalls and a lot of the new stuff and enjoyed watching the historic hillclimbing and the older formula cars etc in the paddock. Well worth the effort to go, but will likely leave it a couple of years before I go again to allow...

Some BIG gaps between episodes on this one!

Any before/after on the dent work? It's something I'm aware exists, but I've never used them!

BMS is Ashley Bruneu on FB. He uses the megane shifter housing and an extended stick

What are you in at the moment ?

Na they were on eBay, listed them for £350 and wound up letting them go for £300 delivered to spain

Care to give a brief explanation of the difference? NEO has risen nicely today, thanks for sharing.

I just sold a set to a guy in Spain because they sat on eBay for two months

Sold it yet?

It's funny going back from a diesel, I had a petrol again for a short while and it wasnt the cost that wrankled as much as having to stop every 270 miles for fuel! 42MPG is about where mine sits on a run and mixed use I see 38, but I'm rarely in stop start traffic

What exchange are you using?

Looking forward to this! If possible can.you share your thoughts on component selection within the rules, spec etc?

BMW E30

I had the same, pretty sure I levered it out far enough to get it over the end of the stud. JUst check what its catching on little by little until you get it down far enough.

The main thing wrong with the car is you bought the wrong one. Who the f**k buys a turbo diesel for an 8 mile journey from cold in traffic 😂 That said, it's still 20% or more down from where I'd expect, suggesting its taking an age to get warm, or your 'tuning box' is just bore...

Thing is, the basic engine wont be much bigger than any other, that's half a car. It's an M177, which with all the crap that's normally car mounted looks like this And as a bare block, looks much like any other Turbo layout is cool though It's just like all modern cars where the use of...

Does anyone use the 197/megane seats on track? Are they supportive enough? Looking at using some for another project ( 3 door and need rear access so cant go full buckets) but its a lot of money if they're not similarly supportive. Cheers

What's that?

Yeah agreed! I'm happy to leave the money in BTC and see where its ends up in 6-12 months, it's just funny and frustrating in equal measure to have missed two opportunities to be massively up!

Registered on Coinbase on the 28th November, bought mixed BTC and LTC, both declined. Called bank and credit card provider (tried both) to no avail. Forgot about it for a bit. Linked my bank account on the 6th December as BTC was shooting up, made a transfer, from which I paid fees, took 36...

I must be the only person on this thread who has managed to make a loss 😂
